HARNESS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 13, 1909.

Application filed July 22, 1908. Serial No. 4%,828.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES R. Ausrin, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lind, in the county of Adams and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Harness, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in harness, and the object is to provide an improved collar strap doe for connecting the collar strap with the pole strap.

With the above object in view, the invention consists in the novel features of construction hereinafter fully described, particularly pointed out in the claims, and clearly illustrated by the accompanying drawing, in which-- Figure 1 is a view of a portion of a collar strap and a pole strap with my improved harness dee applied, the dee and pole strap being shown partly in section, and Fig. 2, a view of the harness dee, detached from the straps.

My improved dee comprises a substantially D-shaped ring 1, having projecting inwardly from the straight bar thereof a projection or lug 2, said projection being located preferably centrally of said bar.

In use, the harness dee is located on the pole strap between the box loop and buckle, the projection or lug 2 extending in a slot or opening formed in the pole strap for the tongue of the buckle. The collar strap passes through the dee as shown.

In Fig. 1, the numeral 3 designates the pole strap, 4- the buckle and 5 the collar strap.

By forming the doc With the projection or lug which enters the opening or slot in the pole strap, it is prevented from coming in contact with the box loop, thereby pre venting straining or pulling out of the latter.

Having thus fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is:

1. A. harness dee comprising a substantially D-shaped ring having an inwardly projecting lug carried by the straight bar thereof for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination with a harness stra having a loop, of a substantially D-shape ring carried by said loop having an inwardly projecting lug carried by the straight bar thereof and engaging in a slot formed in the strap, for the purpose set forth.

3. The combination with a harness strap having a loop carrying a buckle, of a substantially I'D-shaped ring carried by said loop in rear of the buckle having an in wardly projecting lug carried by the straight bar thereof and engaging in a slot formed in the strap for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES R. AUSTIN.
